Chromebooks are really bad for that too. Google mandates a certain support time period, but it begins when the device first goes on sale. Really obnoxious to find that out and have to sort out chromebooks by release date
I was in the "slowing going nearsighted and avoiding glasses" phase for quite some time and the result was regular "ice-pick" headaches and migraines. Getting glasses fully cured all of that. My prescription also hasn't changed in 10 years, so (for me, at least) glasses have only had a beneficial effect.
So you’re saying, something like this would save you loads of time? Or do you think it’s unnecessary?

Muddying the discourse is next-generation trolling.
I don’t see much difference between companies and governments, that’s why having an authentication standard that is accepted by all of them (and users as well) is important.
SARS-CoV-2, by best estimates (0.3% mortality), is roughly 3x as deadly as the seasonal flu.

The common cold is a coronavirus. It is significantly less deadly than the seasonal flu. We have every reason to believe that a more contagious but less deadly version will resemble the common cold.

They automated everything in order to not have to invest in human labor, in order to profit most greatly from scale while paying the fewest people they can get away with. Their original index was just an algorithm that distilled human labor from webrings and indexes, that supposedly was great on its own (hint: nope, they crawled the entire Internet, and yet they still remain critically dependent on blogs and news sites for the volunteer labor their algorithm depends on).

What’s the actual long GME hypothesis? From WSB, I’ve read 3 things

1. Ryan Cohen joins board. Ok, I like chewy.com but having this one dude on the board is really worth 20x in the company’s value?

2. They plan to sell PC parts. Again, really? And right before a bunch of new consoles are released?

3. People have some vague idea that they might start a Steam competitor. Does GameStop have any expertise, talent, or IP to do this? The only thing they bring to the table is their trademark, and it’s not really a great one.
Unfortunately, some gas stations have already disabled the mute button; in my personal experience, Speedway was the first in doing that. It's only a matter of time 'til all stations do that.
Unless you're not using it to compete. Which would be most applications providing content directly to users.
How long until people just stop relying on these platforms as the foundation...sorry, no, the single unstable column, that supports their entire business?

Same issue with third party sellers on Amazon getting destroyed when Amazon irrationally shuts down their products or entire account.

It's crazy. This has been screaming for government regulation for years.
Sharing thoughts on the matter and asking questions is appreciated. Telling someone to quit their jobs and just grind it out through productivity and avoiding procrastination is bad advice.
I wonder if there is a way to "read" how elongated your eyeball is, detect imperfections on the surface level and create a smart glass that adjusts what you see based on these "customizations".

Imagine training the brain to see properly, I doubt it will change in adults however.

Even wearing light sunglasses helps tremendously but because of the socially frowned upon nature of wearing shades indoors and the long term effect of opening up the cornea constantly isn't good, it is a bandaid problem.

I look good too in shades and I can't use astigmatism as an excuse similar to how using one's Asperger syndrome diagnosis as a license to be insensitive cannot expect positive societal feedback.
Chromebook without the Linux partition? Constantly changing devices? ...?

Ask HN: Hosted email using your domain name registrar – a good idea?
Lots of domain name registrars offer hosted email that matches your domain name i.e. if you buy mydomain.com, the registrar will offer hosted email with email addresses such as hello@mydomain.com or support@mydomain.com etc.

The hosted email services are not free but they are usually cheap. For example, Namecheap offers hosted email started at just $12 a year (with higher prices for more features).

Based on your experience or thoughts, do you think hosted email with your domain registrar is a good idea? Or do you think this is something to avoid? Could mail delivery be a potential problem?

The alternative is to buy a domain and then set up email forwarding (from your domain registrar) and create an alias with your current personal email account (Gmail, Outlook etc) for sending replies. This is free but it also means mixing business and personal email in a shared inbox. (Depending on your opinion this can be seen either as an advantage or a disadvantage).

So overall, which option do you think is preferable and why? Also any recommendations for domain registrar + hosted email providers much appreciated. Thanks
In addition to what chadash said, and the whole "Chesterton's Fence" avoidance... I'd say being helpful to the team goes a long way. Here's an index reply I wrote that I link to often[0]. The first link there is about understanding codebases, but if you look at the links, they're pretty much all about making the team's job easier, removing frictions.

You have a useful background in consulting. As any good consultant, you observe, you recognize problems and frustrations, you figure out the job to be done, you figure out the current state and the desired state, you represent that gap, and you solve that problem. You do that for the team. You're hopefully accustomed to communicating with stakeholders with different skillsets and doing impedance matching: this is valuable. Make engineering problems understandable by non-engineers, make non-engineering problems understandable by engineers. That transcoding is very useful.

If your team is having trouble deploying something, make deployment easier. If code is not documented, write better documentation. If issues lack clarity, write good issue templates to capture problems (and not implementations/solutions) and lower the barrier to writing clear issues. If you can bring your expertise in consulting being exposed to a variety of contexts, sectors, and industries; this is useful. These are examples that may not be applicable, but you get the idea: there are a lot of things to do that have not been done for a bunch of reasons, be a gift of a person and be helpful.

Some people complain about companies charging too much.

Some people complain companies don't pay their workers enough.

Sometime these are the same people. They don't realize it.
Wow, yes, that has the information. That's a really broad leak.
Google uses blacklists of words to demonetize Youtube channels. They have similar blacklists to ban Play apps. I found it the hard way when they removed my video recording app after I simply added "spy cam" in the list of features.

Lesson of life learned, so I implemented ways to keep in contact with my users in case of sudden ban and ask them to move to a new app or another channel.
“female nipples” have seen many amusing challenges, such as censoring female nipples by hiding them behind male nipples edited over them.
And yet so many rowers are saying that the electronically-controlled resistance doesn't really make sense in a rower, which should not be changing the resistance all the time.
> Potentially you can use gravity to recharge the battery

Good point. Airplanes waste tons of (potential and kinetic) energy while getting lower, slowing down for landing, and finally breaking.

Energy recovery sound like an excellent safety (and energy saving) feature.
Since it doesn't come in contact with the eye, that doesn't seem to be likely. It could be training the muscles that adjust the curvature of your lens.

IIRC, it was added in one of the charging standards, I want to say it was CCS. In theory every car that supports that charging standard should be capable of it, but in practice that will likely be a different matter. As few people need it, few people are likely testing that it works.

I've heard the hard part right now is more regulatory in nature. Especially in the US where energy regulations vary not just from state to state, but also sometimes regionally within states based on power utility provider for a region.
> theoretically; this still needs to be actually proven

huh??
I recently read a great paper covering a survey on AI. They were interviewing AI field experts, and one of the problems they encountered were the multiple, often opposing, viewpoints, with some experts plain out refusing to discuss AI, as they only recognized machine learning.

I suppose for applied ML the approach suggested by one of the top comments would be perhaps the most viable - just start running code and see where it gets you.
Do you philosophically oppose the license or is it because your application might compete?

Spotify Tests Audiobooks with 'Frankenstein,' 'Jane Eyre' and Other Classics
Oh man, the Lilly! Waaaay back, I preordered a UAV around the same time, the "Sprite" drone [0]. I was still in my mid teens at the time, and very ... well, stupid. I wanted something to help take ortho images to stitch together for maps and use machine learning to identify objects from aerial imagery and other ambitious crap.

Of course, it took years and years for the project to deliver. The guys behind it kept laboring though, and sent monthly updates, which I'd usually glance over at least. Years and years of those (detailed!) monthly updates.

I remember they had joked early on they'd "beat" the Lilly to production. Well, they did ;)

Many years later, I'd all but forgotten about it, and was about to graduate college when it finally arrived.

I got it set up, took it out for a test flight. Then a second flight -- and on the second flight, it ignored RC input and flew away, (thankfully!!) crashing into a tree trunk at probably between 30-40 MPH. Despite being "ruggedized", there was a single large plastic gear somewhere between the main motor and the rotor assembly which would essentially take the blunt of any lateral impact, and shattered to bits. Was a custom part, so no trivial repair job.

The cost to ship + repair it would have been significantly more than a brand new DJI something or another. I can't remember. Much better quadrocopter, better camera, better control system.

I learned then that even if an idea makes it to market, not only will it probably be obsolete, but even if the creators got the idea to market, not all ideas are great ideas in the first place. In this case, despite being "ruggedized", no amount of polymer shielding will really prevent a high drop or impact from destroying the drive train and sensitive electronics.

Most of the public accounts I can find about it mention something breaking on impact or it flying away. There was a google plus group (hah!) of "fans" that withered out a month or two after release. A year or so afterwards, the company silently erased the product from their homepage, and shifted gears to selling to military/government contracts.

The ePrivacy regulation is being negotiated right now, your best bet is to join the lobbying. It's for certain that there will be some amendments to the GDPR and ePrivacy directive regarding the way cookies and tracking are handled for websites. In Germany the Bitkom is a good place to start if you want to make your voice heard, they have a working group on data protection that comments on the EU legislation process (you'll be a bit late to the party regarding the ePrivacy regulation though, not sure if there's still much room for change).

I don't think a citizen initiative will be likely to succeed as the regulation has been in the works for a long time and will probably be passed in one form or another, and I really doubt the EU would want to amend the handling of cookies a third time.

BTW I develop an open-source CMP (https://github.com/kiprotect/klaro) and the problem is a bit more complex than honoring the DNT header, as the user needs to grant or decline his/her informed consent for all non-essential third-party services. In the long run I think this functionality should be implemented directly in the browser, but again this will require more than a single header IMHO.

I've had a lot of problems with USB DACs as well. I frequently find that audio degrades into a kind of stuttering or static that doesn't go away until a reboot. I've experienced this with multiple DACs (Aune, Centrance, O2, and Presonus) on multiple machines (iMac 5K, 16" MacBook Pro, and hackintosh). I feel like it's worse in recent versions of macOS (say, High Sierra and later), but it's intermittent, so it's hard to say.
It is remarkable to me that a company that produces so little value to the consumer is worth SO much. There is a LOT of cash to be made in the dark-pattern cracks of society.

Poor choice of words; the headline should read "Myopia treatment 'smart glasses'..."

"Eyeglasses" are considered corrective lenses in US (at least) usage (because they correct the distortion of the body's lens).
That's pretty awesome to go from nothing to full production in 15 minutes. I would like to encourage others to bear in mind that simply adding more time wouldn't significantly decrease the risk of things going wrong.
There seems to be a bunch of these pocket Linux systems lately. I bought the Gemini PDA a couple of years ago (https://store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/gemini-pda/product...). If you remember the Psion 5mx, (a contemporary of the later Palms), it had an absolutely amazing keyboard. The designer of that machine was involved, and the Gemini looks like an updated 5mx. The display is touch-sensitive.

You can configure the Gemini to run Linux, which I have done. It took a bit of doing, but it works. Once you do that, you have a pocket Linux, with a surprisingly capable keyboard, considering the size. This appears to be far more attractive than these other pocket Linux systems, with their inferior-looking keyboards. So I wouldn't trade the Gemini for these alternatives.

And I never use it. I bring it with me, but I never use it. It is still far less comfortable than using a laptop. Even on an airplane (economy seat), I prefer the awkwardness of using a laptop, to the compromises required by the Gemini.
GPD MicroPC owner here. Keyboard is mechanically reliable so far. It's nice and tactile. Because of the width of the device thumb typing can get a little tiring, and there's no way to touch type (too small). Overall, while I'd prefer a full layout like on the Toshiba Libretto 50CT, I've no real complaints given the size and what I use it for (basic mobile troubleshooting and light CLI).

That being said, if there's a USB keyboard within 50 feet of me, I'll grab it instead of using the built-in.
Turns out humans don't like being pressed into a fixed life

Not sure, but demographics change over time. We can't really plan them down to the individual lives, but we can plan them to be versatile enough that changes in usage can be easily accommodated. The Berlin buildings you mention are a perfect example of such change even though some behaviours would probably be less tolerated when the environment is extremely harsh. On Earth we can consider air, water, and space inexhaustible, but that probably won't be the case on any space colony.

They are not selling into a commodities market because there has always been clear differentiation between product, this is not reductionist "anything to get me to heathrow on time" it is the variant between price conscious and service quality conscious purchase

No details in the article but I assume the "smart" part of the name implies it can adjust the image to adapt to different people. It's possible it has some kind of algorithm to slowly adjust the prescription over the 60 to 90 days so that your body begins to adjust by making eye muscles stronger. The visual equivalent of braces for your teeth. No real details, just speculation.
That's what a tube of chapstick is for. My dad's been doing that for >50yrs, and I have continued the tradition at gas stations that remove the trigger lock.
I have a hunch that if Google actually wanted to fix the issue, they could afford to pay enough people enough money to find a solution.

In the meantime, they're doing this.
Yup, constant context switching is costly.

And yet most people's code (in my team at least) after 6-7 hours of work tend to be crap and is usually refactored later when they are fresh.

For it to count as "constant" in humans it has be in periods smaller than what period of time the individual can stay focused... Which is anywhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour, for most people.
CO2 is the second derivative of temp, so it is equivalent to acceleration, so the speed is still going up.

distance = Industraly caused temperature difference

speed = Co2

Acceleration = Co2 emissions.

There are no realistic IPCC models where the car starts to coast or decelerate before 2100.

I've been nearsighted my entire life and do not wear glasses. I get the headaches after a couple of hours of wearing them. More than likely it's more to do with what you're accustomed with than how good your vision is.
Yeah I had the exact same response.

There needs to be a 'permanently' in there somewhere.
Oh, it is. I meant that that is also part of 'natural' immunization. The distinction between the 'natural' exposure and the vaccine is that the natural exposure targets a number of epitopes, which may or may not include effective neutralizing antibodies against the spike protein; the vaccine, on the other hand, only offers the spike as an antigen, so you know you're generating neutralizing ab.
Does that mean that polar regions now also get coverage? Great news for my Chukotka dacha!
That goes for any system, legacy code is good and bad. Often it's battle hardened, but looks super complicated because of the post release organic growth with fixes. Green projects are able to be engineered nicely(if you have the time...) but are missing real world exposure to find all our incorrect assumptions and errors.
I don't know about the microPC, but I used the GPD Win keyboards before (1 and 2) and the key placement was quite awkward.
yeah I suppose I was considering what seemed at the time consensual, and separately sexual assault(which is not ambiguous at all).

It was drilled into us at college and in the military that a woman can not consent if intoxicated, no matter how sober they seem. However, this might just be a zero tolerance policy to better control those without good judgement,

It just always seemed weird to me that two people could drink the same amount, both be engaged and consenting at the time, then the day after still be classified as a sexual assault.

Your point is reasonable but if/when this information is widely known I'd expect many patients to demand the medicine. To each individual it's not the overall civic outcomes that matter anywhere near as much them personally living + thriving. Also, with all the emerging info about potential long term side effects like "viral vasectomy" I'd expect even younger/healthier patients would want this drug to limit longer term negative outcomes that fall short of death.
I met one of their VP's and had a good 30 minute chat once. Budget ethos is definitely there. Outside of advertisements during the Iowa high school Athletics events, they didn't really spend on TV ads until ~2-3 years ago when competition with ALDI and Hy-Vee seemed to dramatically increase.

No idea on the business model for the ad tablet system, but I could see a model where they pay an amount to the store on a monthly basis. Perhaps they would pay more if the store would turn over transaction data, or the transaction data and demographics would be traded as mutually beneficial.

They're very much not on the cutting edge of technology. I believe she said they didn't have email until ~2010. Store orders were submitted via fax to their distribution center.

In some ways they're saving money (only looking at mature options in the market and absolutely avoiding snake oil salesmen), but even an Excel based ordering system on a dialup connection would have been a major labor savings for 2000-2010 compared to faxes.
